there is a place called wheel magic in stockton californa,. Pretty good work, or you could send them to caps in frenso California. Caps is cheaper, but i have never sent rims to them.,

depends on the extent of damage done to the wheels, but most of these places should be able to make it look decent

how much does it cost?? i think i heard somewhere that its usually about 60 a rim...is that right???

I powdercoated my rims because of winter-related pitting along my polished lip. $60 a rim is not expensive for repair at all!! I'd called a few places (Wheels America was one I think) and was quoted between $550 and $700 to fix JUST the pitting on all 4 of my rims (so between about 135 and 175 PER RIM!). I debated buying new ones but powdercoating was way cheaper.

I picked my rims up this afternoon and they're HOT!! Rich @ P&L took pics and I'm waiting for him to send 'em to me... I'll post when he does (here, MWIR, ClubWRX, etc. etc. etc., LOL!). My price (before the discount they gave me) was $240 + $60 for mounting and balancing. The before discount total was $300. Not bad, and now I've got some sweet(er) custom rims

thats about on average for just powdercoating...most good places charge between 75-100per wheel to powdercoat and that doesnt include repair...

i know one place in arlington heights charges 60-100 just to repair one wheel

looking forward to those pics rach, shoot me a PM on mwir when you post em up, same name as here: Boost_Junkie

No, no pics yet. I was really busy last week and last weekend and didn't get a chance and Rich still hasn't sent me the ones he took. Unfortunately I forgot my camera at home today so I won't get any at the Subaru meet. I'll see if one of the regs can snap a pic for me to post.

They look really good tho, and I'm getting a lot of complements... including 4-5 from guys at Schaumburg Subaru when I was in for an oil change

Lo-ko coatings in Oak Lawn - just west of Cicero Ave. on 111th st.

They don't repair rims that I know of, but they do a nice job with powdercoating. I like the shop mainly because the people are polite, and finish your stuff quickly and on time. No hassles with them from my experience, and good looking work.
